Vodafone seeks to open a service center in Poland

"Negotiations are underway; they are in their initial phase. The company is considering opening a service center, not necessarily in Warsaw," revealed a person connected with the Economy Ministry. According to unofficial sources, the telecom is considering Kraków, Katowice and Lódz. Vodafone's potential investment in Poland would not be separate from its involvement in Polkomtel, operator of the Plus and Sami Swoi brands, in which Vodafone holds a 19.61%. "An investment of larger sums in Poland might mean that the company is hoping to increase its engagement in Polkomtel," said Anna Bossong, an analyst with CA IB. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 9) A.K.
